Patient's question:
Can pregnant women use Shidu Qing ointment?Doctor's answer:
Wet Toxin Clearing Ointment should not be used by pregnant women. It may not cause significant harm, but it is still best to avoid it, as the chemical ingredients inside can be harmful to the fetus.Personal Hygiene During Pregnancy: Three Don’ts
- Do not scrub the nipples vigorously, as this can easily cause dry, cracked nipple skin.
- Do not massage the breasts. Research shows that breast massage before birth may be one of the causes of preterm labor.
- Do not use moisturizer. From 28 weeks to 36 weeks, after colostrum appears, squeeze a small amount of milk onto the skin around the nipples after bathing. Once dry, it forms a protective film, which is more moisturizing than any skincare product.
